Manga Recommendations

Though not as emotionally pressing as Shiawase na Jikan, Koe no Katachi has some great moments dealing with depression in a realistic way, that in a way raises awareness. Both of these stories are very emotionally heavy and will both make you cry.

MCs are both summoned heroes in another world in order to kill the Demon Lord (Nidome) and fiends crawled out from dimensional cracks (Tate no Yuusha). This new world seems like an online videogame, they can open a menu in which are listed their unlocked abilities and equipment. They were both betrayed by their first comrades and decided to take their revenge against them. To do so, they can only rely on a demihuman girl bought from a slaver. And finally, both MCs have unique abilities distinguishing them from all other adventures.

Both MCs were heroes and were betrayed by their comrades. They went back in time willingly or not to restart their lives, get stronger and take their revenge upon those who betrayed them. They also, arent psychopaths and try to not kill/involve innocent people as much as possible. Furthermore both MCs get some female slaves to help them in their revenge. If you like evil MCs who are out for revenge and will stop at nothing to get what they want then these mangas are for you.

Both mangas have strong girls who are the bosses/protectors of their school OP male MCs who are liked/loved by those strong female students Both stories have ecchi battle scenes ripped clothes, shown underwear etc.

Both mangas have strong girls who are the bosses/protectors of their school OP male MCs who are liked/loved by those strong female students Both stories have ecchi battle scenes ripped clothes, shown underwear etc.

In both mangas we have a male MCs who are quite strong, they often battle females who for some reason are stronger than you averange human MCs are disliked from the start but as the story proggresses those female students are starting to like him even have romantic feelings towards him In both stories there are 3 and 5 respectivly girls who are the bosses/protectors of the school. Both sories have their ecchi moments riped clothes, shown underwear etc.

Both these manga are incredibly well written pieces of work that handle the struggles of young LGBT+ folks. Love and sex take a backseat, and the relationship of young gay boys with each other, their families, society and even themselves - take the front seat. Extremely well written, both tackle the doubt, fear and humiliation that LGBT people have to face on a daily basis, how you make and break relationships simply because of your sexuality, and how, often, some dreams are never meant to be realized.

Major air time from the MCs of both manga

In Takagi the girl embarrasses the guy In Omujo the girl embarrasses herself.

Both center on characters being embarrassed.

Both manga revolve around the MC having to fake their way through a sort of magic school when they themselves don't have any powers. Both have supporting characters all completely bamboozled by the faking, and everyone thinks that the MCs are amazing. Both are focused on comedy. Mx0 has some light romance/harem elements. Iruma seems to be focused on the comedy so far, though there may be light romance in the future.

These are both BL featuring actors. In both the Uke is dedicated to their acting career. In both the Seme is new to the acting world and the Uke has more experience in front of the camera. In both the Seme falls for the Uke first. In both the Uke is older. In both the Seme has to try hard to show the Uke that he is serious.

There is only one way to survive and that is... TO KILL EVERYONE! Both manga carry a kill or be killed scenario as the characters enter a psychological battlefield. What entitles forth is a total bloodbath of death and gore. In terms of character progression both manga also feature some similar character revaluations; as our passive protagonist begins to question their own sense of morality and begins to wonder if they could kill for the benefit of their own survival. Mirrai Nikki differs as it features supernatural elements with specialised phones as the character fight against each other for the hopes of becoming the next god. While Battle Royale features a very humane story as it focuses much more on the morality and induced trauma of the situation; as it goes to investigate each characters ideology and thought process, through its use flashbacks. As classmates/friends are forced to kill and betray each other on an isolated island. So, if you a fan of blood, death and plenty of gore on a psychological battlefield, than you will love both manga.

You are forced into a twisted game of deceit, a psychological warfare, where you must battle others to survive, who will you trust? And how will you survive? So, are you looking for a manga with such a scenario? Because these two will sure fit you needs. Mirai Nikki differs as it carries supernatural elements with specialised phones as the characters aim to kill each other in the hopes of becoming the next God. While Liar Game it built on realism as the characters gamble against each other within a tournament as they strive to prevent themselves getting caught in a devastating debt. So, if you like psychological battles, in a battle royale environment you will be sure to like both manga.

A dark-haired pretty boy is bullied by his blond school mate during his school years. Hurt, he resolves to take revenge, come what may, by making blondie fall for him. However, years later when they do meet, it doesn't take long for our pretty boy to realize that he's actually fallen for his 'bully'.

This rec is for ch4-5 of Guutara. Both stories feature a young boy who has feelings for his ex brother in law. The sister is not in the picture, and the BIL is a lot older than the young boy.

Both have a similar relationship between the main pair both have a strong girl that surprises everyone around her if you like one of these mangas you are bound to like the other one as well

Both feature similar female protagonist personalities. Enjoyed Kusuriya and immediately thought of koi dano ai dano's protagonist.

Short and cute office romances between a straight guy and an openly gay colleague.

Both series are made by the same author featuring similar looking(if not identical) characters Edens Zero is just a space AU of Fairy Tail

Both manga deal with a fudanshi who's curious about gay sex, and a gay man who's attracted to said fudanshi.

They have a similar sense of humour to them, they're both super cute. Both same genre. The main uke characters are kinda similar in the way that they're clumsy and a bit stupid. At the beginning they're both like into it but also against it, like they're fighting within themselves but truely they want the seme character.

Both are made by the same mangaka Both are about a push over boy who smashes every girl in his sight The art style is the same

Simple yet cute artstyle and smiliar characters and atmosphere.

One brother is psychotically over-protective and secretly in love with his brother. The psychotic brother goes out of his way to try and completely make the other brother his by locking him away and cutting off all contact from anyone else. In the end the brother who was the victim was actuallly in love with other psychotic bro the entire time.

Dark haired seme and light haired uke - apart from these, both manga are one shots that are cute/fluffy reads. We have a sorta serious/mature seme who finds the uke irresistibly cute, and ends up confessing his feelings to the uke first.

How are they similar? They're both my favorites! Haha kidding aside, both stories: -occur in a school setting -have events that transpire over one school year -have main characters perceived as failures -have main characters' lives improve over the course of the story -emphasize the values of friendship and sometimes, love and maturity -teach good life lessons and values -are heartwarming -will leave you in tears -will change the way you think and live (somewhat) -are inspiring -are both my favorites And did I mention they're both my favorites?

Both manga are action packed pieces that focus on martial arts and training. The only difference is that Holyland focuses on some psychological elements centered around its protagonist depression, while Tatakae! Ryouzanpaku Shijou Saikyou no Denshi is comedy focused.

This manga is from the same author and the main male lead is a popular student that grows with and falls in love with the main character

A girl who has the ability to seduce all other girls she meets. A premise that's bound to lead to a lot of fun situations. In the light-hearted slice of life Kyou mo Onnanoko wo Kouryaku shita. the seduction happens inadvertently whereas in the more explicit YuriCam the protagonist is deliberately charming girls and turning the school into her harem.

Similar stories of supernatural-themed slice of life. Peaceful and soothing, with plenty of sugary moments. Perfect read for cleansing the bitterness of your soul.

Stories where the main character is easily likeable, yet too slow to notice the feelings of those around him. Both manga focus on the main characters relationships and slowly build connections with others around them.

Threesomes, gags and seke - these two one shots have it all!

Two smutty josei about love stories with important age gaps.

· Magical girls · Animal-like transformations · Male love interest has a secret · Romance · Characters all work at a café-like shop

Both mangas have a similar theme which is the "coming of age" most importantly, both of them have a kind of negativity on the idea of growing up. The biggest difference between them is the art and storytelling but both are amazing mangas

The biggest and most obvious similarity between these two titles is the presence of a protagonist who can swap genders. Both protagonists obtain their ability unintentionally, have no control over it (a "trigger" forces the swap to occur), and even try to cure it. We see how their ability effects their everyday lives, including awkward scenarios, misunderstandings, and male characters falling for them. However, there are some notable differences such as the lack of rivals/enemies in Change-De. And perhaps even more notable, the fact one is pornographic while the other is not. Personally, I prefer Ranma. It has much cuter characters, it's funnier (without having to be crude), and it's super long. So this recommendation is mainly intended for the people who read Change-De. But maybe Ranma fans will enjoy the other if they're interested in seeing what an adult version of Takahashi's manga might look like.

Theatre based both good great art / styles / scenes.

Both titles are in 4-Koma style. Although the protagonists are the total opposite, the comedy style, setting, and even character setup (2 girls 1 boy) are similar. Both have similar premise: "girl trying to make her feelings known to the boy, while the rest of their friends cheer on them"

Both are about dance and the art is very dynamic

-SLAVE -NO MERCY -BACK TO LIFE -REVENGE

A nerdy guy who for some reason gets constantly teased by a cute girl.

Both series have a messed up world where many people die every day from either monsters or other humans. Main characters are on a quest for revenge, travelling the lands to find this person. They are both very dark.

· A female love interest bully the protagonist · MC is awkward and not popular at all · Female love interest is a popular girl · Good amount of fanservice (more explicite in Sundome) · Lots of sexual teasing

Not only are their titles similar, but the male leads in both mangas have similar overconfident personalities. They're also both Tsunderes when it comes to the female leads. The comedy in both is hilarious. Their side characters are memorable and lovable. Both are well-paced, although Takane to Hana is more of a slow-burn since it has longer chapters and has a bit more serious approach to slice-of-life. For a 4-koma, Takane no Hana nara Ochitekoi's plot points don't drag on at all and knows when it needs to be serious while still maintaining its carefree high school setting.

Both feature a red-headed female protagonist who starts off physically weak and constantly in need of saving, but over time develop their already existing traits into strengths to protect themselves/people they care about. Akatsuki no Yona focuses more on Yona's development as a character, both physically and mentally, while Akagami no Shirayukihime has a bit more focus on the romance of the story. Both focus quite a bit on the running of kingdoms and fantasy-esque politics. They each have different approaches to a similar topic, and reading them alongside each other offers differing perspectives, which is kind of interesting.

The gimmick is pretty similar, though both mangas have their own personality. But they share the fluffiness, the comedy and the amazing chemistry between the main duo.

- Both Shows are reincarnation themed. - Both protagonist build a new cities with fantasy creatures. - The protagonists both gain in allies in the same way, by sharing their powers with them.

Both are cool and about space humans. I think they're awesome and you should too if you like space and history like me lol.

Both manga are set in a medieval-style dark fantasy world, where the main characters battle demons preying on humans. The world is rather cruel, and both main characters have revenge as their prime motivations in life and display some other similarities, such as both wielding giant swords. There are many depressing moments (especially in Berserk universe, where the world is downright hopeless), yet there are also times when the heartwarming moments shine up. Lots of action, quite a lot of gore and shock factor. Though a matter of personal preference, I am fond of Claymore more than Berserk, as it has an ensemble cast of characters rather than focus on fewer (but admittedly more rounded and comple) characters and because of the fact it has concluded to an ending.

both go down the "Gyaru meets normal guy and they become freinds"-way with more or less romantical feelings involved.

Despite gaining superpowers, our MCs are made to realize that sometimes, the best you can do is to be yourself

Two school students suddenly find their wishes coming true, but at a high cost. Willing to pay that price, they realize that at the end of the day, even magic can't grant you what your heart desires the most

Two teens have their most desired wishes come true..... but there's a huge catch involved.

Nearly identical plots - a weak and useless uke (who has no will of his own), is forced into being in a physical relationship with two dudes who "love" him. The two dudes also have a healthy competition between them regarding who can manage to win the affections of the uke more. Both manga have pretty art styles, which are, honestly, wasted on this train wrecks.

Very similar post-apocalyptic vibes and themes.

Barairo no Yakusoku reminds me of Hana to Akuma; both with a slight age gap between the MCs and the guy being protective of the girl from the start. Though Hana to Akuma has more a plot while Barairo no Yakusoku is more focused on the female lead. Both have great art (I'm in love with the art style and clothing in Barairo no Yakusoku) and both are very cute mangas!!

4koma romcoms mainly centered about the characters than make me and you very happy!!

Both manga share similar points - a cute and blonde uke type guy, a bestie who's in love with him, and the blonde's boyfriend. The bestie and the boyfriend initially dislike each other bc they both have to share the blond, but eventually, they grow to tolerate each other.

Both manga involve an older, het male, and his feelings towards his ex's cute younger brother.

They are most similar when focusing on the first 20-or-so chapters of "Kanojo, Okarishimasu". Both depict the troubles of alienated youth, "Kanojo, Okarishimasu" to a limited degree, around their main characters who try to find love as they battle their dull wits and endless internal doubt. In the long run "Kanojo, Okarishimasu" loses this focus, but how the earlier chapters play out are very reminiscent of the greater scheme of "Oyasumi Punpun".

Both manga feature the complicated lives of a brother and sister, and the sister's boyfriend.

Both are romances with teenagers in adolescence, overthinking situations and sometimes not taking action because of love. Sometimes leads to misleading actions that leads to misleading funny scenarios. While Kaguya-sama is more complicated on love, Komi is more simple and more focused on friendship but with a dash of love.

Both have a pair of a human girl and a mythical/godlike creature/guy as its main characters. They are both manhwas (full colour). They go on an adventure (kind of) to fulfill the main guys goal and along the way they meet new people (most of them are mythical creatures) that help and/or hinder them. Both are adventure and fantasy stories with (complicated) romance, and they take inspiration from mythology. There is an orb that grants powers and is in a way a big focus for many of the characters. Both main guys: -can transform from a mythical creature to a human form -is very old (older than they look) but still act quite childish (but can be serious) -have a goal of "ascending"/leaving but is hesitating because of the main girl -is in their universe extremely good looking and humans can't tell their gender (meaning everyone is attracted to them) -have a guardian/guardians watching over them and trying to make sure they "ascend" A big difference between the main guys is that while Kairak (abide in the wind) doesn't show much emotion at all (he doesn't have any in the beginning) and don't do much, Banya (cheonnyeon kumiho) is very lively and are most of the time over the top angry. Both main girls: -want power to protect themselves/the people around them -are positive most of the time -don't have their parents -don't want to show their feeling for the main guy because they might hinder the guy from reaching his goal (so they feel that they are selfish if they "want the guy") -are pulled into an adventure because of the main guy -are pretty selfless One difference beetween the two main girls is that while Lee So-Yoon (cheonnyeon kumiho) is aware (to an extent) of the supernatural/fantasy things that's going on, Reana (abide in the wind) barley knows anything in the beginning. So-Yoon is special from birth while Reana is an ordinary human in the beginning.

It has femdom and suits.

My 500th rec! Wow. And to think I'd be recommending such fantastic manga! Frankly, I'm surprised nobody has recommended them, bc their base plot lines are strikingly similar. You have a mature, working adult, who is suddenly thrust with the responsibility of a child (from the opposite sex). Both manga deal with how, very gradually, the lives of both the parties involved, change, and how both form deep and meaningful bonds with each other.

An adventure with cute art. But...... it's dark Both of this 2 manga, i think just kids who play around. But it doesn't. From their 'house' to another place to find something, that they need.

I would have never imagined that my life would get to a point where I'd be making such recommendations, but........ both manga deal with dudes whose penises become mini-humans due to certain supernatural occurrences.

Kisshu Tennyo is simmilar to The Tenth Ten Commandments Odamari! story. Manipulation, moral relaitivity, beauty and gender in society are the themes. The Tenth Ten Commandments has lesbian romance.

Both black comedies with a sense of the ridiculous Elements of psychological horror Both have atypical art styles Similar comedic style Abe Youichi is a fan of Dowman Sayman

by the same author, Deaiki Site de Imouto to Deau Hanashi talk about the Relationship of two sisters.

Both... ...are 4-koma comedies in a school setting. ...feature "delinquent" girls as main characters who are simply misunderstood. ...have them coming out of their shell thanks to the help of a friend. ...are cute, heartwarming and funny stories that aren't too long. I liked Hazuki Kanon a lot more, because it felt more focused on comedy and was a bit more over the top. Sotomura-san was kind of tame in comparison, but also more "feel good". I feel like Sotomura-san drags on a little too much in the middle because it overuses the same joke too often, but it is a very cute series nonetheless and worth the read if you like 4-koma comedies.

Okay. One is about MMA and one is about tennis, but both manga depicts the technical aspects of the sport nicely, and realistically. Both the main characters don't have overwhelming physical or technical abilities, but steadily gets better and tend to win by analyzing the opponent and hitting their weak points. Meguru is a bit darker though, especially with character backstories, as it's a seinen instead of shonen like Baby Steps.

This is a manga spin off series based on the fatal frame series. If you love Fatal Frame you really need check out this series. It follows the lore really close to the games.

Both are relatively light hearted at the start and get more serious as they progress and feature impressive fight scenes along with good comedic bits. Also both have supernatural beings but of different nature: monsters like werewolves and vampires in RtV and tsukumogami (tools that have acquired a spirit and human form) in Tsugumomo. Ecchi elements are present in both series but in Tsugumomo they are more prominent.

Bartender is a well developed manga, while the other is a one-shot collection, but they both use their theme (for Bartender is the alcohol, in the Anthology - the cigars) to create stories which mostly gravitates towards the human relationships, desires and goals in life.

Both manga revolve around a socially awkward teenage girl that desperately tries to make friends.

A young delinquent boy is picked up by an older man, and forced to work with him (as payback for his rogue lifestyle). It's also this young boy who falls for the older man first.

Both manga are about an adorable, socially incompetent girl that tries to make friends.

This rec is for ch5-6 of Dare ga. Similar plot lines and character developments - a gay uke (with bad rumours surrounding him) and a het seme work in the same office space. The uke is indifferent toward everybody due to his past, but gradually, he warms up to the seme. The manner in which both the mangaka have dealt with this subject is mature and believable, and I encourage you to read the other recommendation.

They're too similar. They are both one-shots, so you don't need a lot of commitment. They both have two characters, tragedy, etc.

Both are initially one-sided shoujo-ai/yuri where each girl faces psychological problems of her own. Citrus is bit more sexual (nothing graphic), dramatic, and cliche than Yagate, but still similar. Both mention the secrecy of lesbian relationships and both have one girl trying to help the other through family problems. Almost identical settings as well, student council president and all.

Both Challengers and Ouran are both comedy-driven love stories with a similar sense of humor involving some over-the-top characters with some hilarious incidents. Both of these manga series have some drama sprinkled throughout them, but are primarily comedy. The stories aren't all that similar, but the tone is similar enough for me to recommend Ouran for fans of Challengers and vice-versa.

· Centered around cute female characters · Main subject is cooking · Each chapter is about a different meal · Main character is a food-lover · Protagonists only cook simple meals that can be made at home

Both manga explore the same question - What separates human from monster? Monster does this via a character drama exploring the monster within all of us, as its protagonist chases what he see as the biggest monster of all. While Kiseijuu does this via showing the contrasting differences and hypocritical opinions between humans and the alien parasite, as its central pair continue to grow closer together from a mental state of position.

Modern LGBT+ representation which aims towards realism. Ao no Flag has so far been as purely realistic as a high school romance manga can really get, whereas Shimanami Tasogare often mixes magical realism and fantastic visual metaphor into reality to achieve a similar end. In other words, the former focuses on more day-to-day reality, with the latter more on the reality of the characters' emotions for the similar effect of making the characters appear believable. Both take their characters seriously and as a nice bonus both have lovely neat, detailed artwork.

- both are harem manga - in both manga MC's are delinquents but nice guys - both are highschool mangas

- from the same author - MC are delinquents but are nice guys - same artstyle - both are highschool manga

Both male lead less sensitive to heroine Both have childhood relation Both same genre romance and school setting.

Both taking school and comedy settings Both have much main heroine.

Both male lead less sensitive to heroine. Similar school setting Osis member.

This series have similar on childhood relation,school lofe settings,and male lead less sensitive to heroine.

Both school settings Both have sexual joke.

Both male lead its funny Both have meme face.

Otaku office lady has to hide her secret even though every fiber in her being screams for it. In Tokusatsu the MC slowly forms a team of misfits, which makes it a bit more interesting than just variants on the same joke. It's pretty much a genre by itself.

They are both hilarious romance comedies

Both series essentially have a human amidst the demons and in a way wreak havoc on the demons daily lives. It is also shown that the demons aren't so bad after all.

- Both are reverse harem shoujos and pretty funny - The art is beautiful - The guy they end up with is a very nice gentleman But to be honest, Ouran is better :P

Both mangas are episodic, have an excessive ecchi and explore very badly the romance. If you want a manga without too dialogues and who serves to jerking, Kiss x Sis and To Love-Ru are perfect.
